When I lived in Beirut, next to the beach there was a great womens only pool. At first I thought - "how boring"; however I quickly learned how lovely it is as a woman in need a tan and relaxing place by the water - to be surrounded by women of all shapes and sizes in their bikinis. Liberating! I dont have to worry about how I look and ever bump and bulge. I can sit and sip on a carrot juice and chat with the moms and dip into the pool as soon as I over-heat. Glorious! Sometimes all a woman needs is to feel the sun and be peaceful. This is best found at a womans only pool or beach.
